UC Soccer Bravettes take on the season

Bravettes Soccer may only have one senior this year, but that doesn’t mean they are lacking heart. According to coach Alicia Elliot, the girls are putting in the work and fighting their way to a great season.
“We are practicing two and a half hours and running at least a mile each day,” the head coach shared. “We’re running sprints, doing different drills to help with passing, shooting, dribbling, and then we try to end each practice with a scrimmage or just by playing some sort of soccer game.”
The coach also talked of how the girls work together on building their understanding of the game. An important task to say the least, for the relatively young team, which holds only one senior, Alex Wright. Some may see this as a negative, but coach Elliot was able to put a positive spin on it.
“Because our team is mostly sophomores, each year will get better and better.” Elliot also shared her excitement for the year, adding, “Most of the girls from last year are returning this year, so I look forward to watching them use their skills from last year and seeing them get better.”
The Bravettes began their season Thursday, with a ???? in a scrimmage against Crittenden County and then hit the road for a ?????? against Ballard Memorial.
The girls travel to Lyon County tomorrow night.
